evening.
Walking into the night, Dong Xuebin returned to the bureau's courtyard expectantly with an English-Chinese dictionary in his arms. As soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly made some food as if in a hurry, heated up an egg custard in the microwave, and poured some soy sauce and sesame oil on it. After hurriedly filling his belly and burping, Dong Xuebin didn't even bother to smoke. He immediately moved his shoulders, sat firmly on the sofa, and continued to study the instructions.
menu!
A dial and a few numbers came out.
menu!
Dials and numbers disappeared again.
He tried it back and forth countless times, and pondered over and over again the string of numbers above. Suddenly, Dong Xuebin was thoughtful, as if he had figured out the meaning of the numbers. After pondering for a moment, he tentatively called out first Clicked on the menu, and then said "b for one second". After swiping, the menu flashed for an instant. Dong Xuebin's eyes also flashed, and he had determined that the time had gone back one second. After that, he concentrated on the menu. A quick look revealed that it was indeed the case. The number of digits in the row of unknown numbers above was one less!
From 4 to 3!
There was no mistake, Dong Xuebin understood that the number meant his remaining b time!
According to this understanding, the time displayed by several numbers is... three minutes and forty-three seconds, which coincides with the time b that Dong Xuebin is not entirely sure of.
Dong Xuebin was very happy. This menu helped him a lot. When he used b in the past, because sometimes it only lasted a few seconds or ten seconds, this kind of number was too cumbersome, and he couldn't do mental arithmetic at all, which made Dong Xuebin has never been able to figure out how much b time he has. It is unrealistic to write down every use of b with a pen and then calculate it slowly, because the moment he uses b is often very urgent, fighting, or doing something else. , I don’t have time to write them down one by one, but I can’t remember them. It’s convenient to have a menu. I can clearly write down how much time I have left.
What a great function.
No, you need to confirm again.
Dong Xuebin waited until twelve o'clock at night, tick tock, tick tock. When the pointer reached the zero point, Dong Xuebin immediately called out the menu, and saw that the number of three minutes and forty-three seconds suddenly changed, becoming four minutes and four. Thirteen seconds, one minute added at midnight every day, by the way, the above is the remaining time! After confirming this, Dong Xuebin rolled his eyes again. Since the menu was unknown to him before, does that mean that there are some instructions that he was not aware of? Besides b and menu, what else
This ability to regress time has always been Dong Xuebin's trump card and his biggest trump card. Since he knows that he has not studied it thoroughly, he cannot let it go.
But how to find out other instructions
Dong Xuebin thought of a stupid way - read word by word!
Read them all again. If you don’t believe me, you can’t find them!
With hope, Dong Xuebin seemed very excited. Even though it was past twelve o'clock in the morning, he had no intention of sleeping. He picked up the English-Chinese dictionary and started reading, one word, two words, three words. , an hour later, Dong Xuebin was dazzled and his head was almost dizzy. He realized that this stupid method failed. There was no other reason. There were too many words. How long would he have to read hundreds of thousands of words? What's more, Dong Xuebin didn't even know how to pronounce many of the words above, so he had to read the phonetic notation one by one.
No, if I continue to recite it like this, I won’t be able to finish it in two months.
What to do? Is there any simpler way
Soon, Dong Xuebin thought of another trick. Since it was an instruction for his superpower, he could simply ignore the vocabulary of frigates, research institutes, buildings, etc. He only had to find some words that looked like instructions and jumped to read them. With just a thought, you should be able to roughly find it.
Yes, just do it!
"n."
"ff."
"Lef."
At four o'clock in the morning, Dong Xuebin couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
In the morning, the alarm bell rang. Dong Xuebin rubbed his eyes and climbed out of bed. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he picked up the dictionary and flipped through it, reading word by word.
While reciting Dong Xuebin, I secretly vowed that if I go to review any English again in the future, my surname will not be Dong. This time, he read the words day and night, which made Dong Xuebin nauseous. Now he wants to vomit when he sees the English words, but in order to make better progress in the future, he has to read them again.
While I was busy working, my phone rang.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, it’s Secretary Hu Silian’s phone number.
Dong Xuebin counted the pages of the dictionary and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Sister Hu."
Hu Silian smiled and said: "Xie County Magistrate asked me to tell you that you can go to her office if you are free today."
"Okay, please excuse me, Sister Hu."
"By the way, after you go to the China Merchants Bureau and take up the post, according to the rules, you can bring someone with you, and it will be posted in the China Merchants Bureau office. You can also give it to a deputy director. In fact, he will be your secretary, who will be responsible for helping you handle the matter. For some chores, I think County Magistrate Xie wants you to bring someone over. After all, the Investment Promotion Bureau used to ask... Do you understand? But it doesn't matter. Well, if you don't have a candidate, I will find a suitable one for you at the county government office. of?"
Can a buddy also have a secretary
This Dong Xuebin really hasn't thought about it, "What about that, Sister Hu, I haven't thought about the secretary thing yet, but there is still an old subordinate of mine, and I want to get him an investment agency. Look at this. Are you in trouble? His name is Guo Panwei, and he is currently working with the Beijing National Security Bureau."
"It's a bit far, isn't it? Are you familiar with the leader there?"
"Familiar, as long as we can pick people up here, I will call the National Security Bureau, and they will definitely be able to release them."
"It shouldn't be a big problem, then... let me help you talk to County Magistrate Xie."
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, Sister Hu."
"Haha, why are we so polite?"
Hu Silian was not at work, so it was convenient to talk to her family. She had not seen Dong Xuebin for a long time. In addition, what happened in South Korea made Hu Silian very interested, so she chatted with Dong Xuebin for a while. At the end, Hu Silian said with a smile: "Director Dong, did you just wake up? Your voice sounds a little hoarse? Or do you have a cold?"
Dong Xuebin cheered, "Don't mention it, I'm just reviewing English."
"ah?"
"After reciting words for a day, my head feels heavy."
"Haha, that's it."
Dong Xuebin opened the dictionary, patted it, and complained: "Why do you think there are so many English words? I read it almost all night, and I still haven't finished reading it. I still skipped and read it, alas." He said. , he pointed at a few words at random, "ng, rry,, look, it will probably take two days to read."
…
…
Suddenly, the surrounding air suddenly solidified, as if the air pressure had suddenly increased countless times!
Dong Xuebin frowned subconsciously, "Sister Hu? Sister Hu? The line is disconnected?" No one answered on the other end of the phone.
Dong Xuebin didn't react at first, but a second later, he realized something was wrong. The phone in his hand was very hard, as if it was frozen in the air. He held it to his ear and tried to change his position, but he didn't move it. , Dong Xuebin was stunned and stood up!
The world in front of him simply stunned Dong Xuebin!
The English-Chinese dictionary was floating in the air on the sofa, the ine phone was fixed in the air, the second and minute hands of the clock on the wall stopped motionless, and even the kettle on the gas stove in the kitchen that was making water, the flames underneath seemed to have been photographed by a camera. The photo was fixed there dryly.
How can it be!
Holy shit! What is this
Dong Xuebin was a little panicked and ran to the window to look at the courtyard downstairs.
Seven or eight sparrows were standing in a spread-out posture near a telegraph pole, as if they had cast a body-holding spell. Qin Yong, who was about to go to work, raised his left leg in the air with a bag under his arm. , the expression stays on the smiling image, and there is a young man riding a motorcycle who is about to drive out, as well as all the pedestrians and vehicles on the road outside the compound, as well as the light in the sky, bugs, birds...
Everything stood still!
The only one who can move is Dong Xuebin!
"God!" Dong Xuebin was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what was going on now. There was no sound at all around him. Plop, plop, he could only hear the beating of his own heart. It was as if the whole world was just a photo, as if the whole world was just a photo. Only Dong Xuebin is left!
Dong Xuebin's face turned pale. Realizing that this might be related to the instructions of his ability, he immediately called menu!
Four minutes and eleven seconds!
He clearly remembered that his remaining power time was four minutes and forty-three seconds, which was absolutely correct, but now it was actually less, and it was still decreasing little by little!
Four minutes and ten seconds…
Four minutes and nine seconds…
Four minutes and eight seconds…
Relating to the scene before him, Dong Xuebin seemed to understand that he could stop time? Is this stop time deducted from the one minute accumulated every day? If you stop for one second, one second will be deducted? So the remaining time is gradually decreasing? That’s the only way to explain it!
Be good!
But...how to go back
Dong Xuebin suddenly remembered something. When he was on the phone with Hu Silian just now, how many words did he seem to read? Yes, I read it, what is it? What's coming? No one could stay calm at the unusual sight in front of them, and Dong Xuebin was no exception. He forgot everything in a hurry, and hurriedly walked over to grab the dictionary in the air, but after grabbing it, he lost his hand, and the dictionary did not move!
Just like a mobile phone! Dong Xuebin couldn’t pick it up!
Or should I say, everything in the world is now at a standstill!
Dong Xuebin didn't believe in evil, so he grabbed the dictionary and increased his strength. Sure enough, this time the dictionary moved, and he pulled it forcefully in front of him. It was very heavy, and it felt like he was moving a dictionary that was several times heavier than the dictionary. It was like a dumbbell, and then Dong Xuebin let go, and the dictionary stopped in mid-air again. It didn't have the usual tendency to fall freely. It looked like the magic book in Harry Potter, just floating like this.
Dong Xuebin couldn't care less about his surprise and quickly took a look at the dictionary.
correct! I remembered!
yes! I said this in Chinese before, which means stop!
Dong Xuebin took a breath and shouted: "!"
…
…
The air is relieved!
With two bangs, the English-Chinese dictionary fell to the ground along with the mobile phone. The kettle in the kitchen whined, and the clock on the wall continued to tick. Looking out the window again, Qin Yong smiled with his bag between his arms. Hehehe walked out of the compound, and the sparrows also flew over!
Time is restored in vain!
It's a command! A command to stop time!
"Hello? Director Dong? Director Dong?" Hu Silian's voice came from the mobile phone on the ground.
Dong Xuebin quickly lowered his head and picked it up, "Hey, Sister Hu, it's me, it's me."
"What's wrong? Is the signal not good? Haha..." Then she continued what she just said: "It seems that I have to learn from you. I have given up on English for several years. I will also review it another day."
Dong Xuebin looked left and right, "What, just now...are you okay?"
"Just now? What happened just now?"
Didn't she notice? Only you know? Dong Xuebin said: "Uh, it's nothing. The signal seems to have been interrupted."
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Oh, it's already this time. I should go to work."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin sat down on the sofa with sweat dripping from his back and wiped his forehead. He felt a little frightened for a while, but he was really not mentally prepared at all.
Is this also my ability
b Backward time? Still time
Dong Xuebin lit up a cigarette and took two deep puffs. He was surprised and happy. It was naturally a good thing to have one more trump card. After calming down for a few minutes, Dong Xuebin quickly accepted the fact. There was no way, b. The gadgets that can rewind time have all appeared on him, and now there is another one that can stop time, which is nothing. In the past, I only discovered b, and thought that my ability was to rewind time. But now it seems that this ability should be to control time. It can go back and stop. The dial under the menu also indicates this.
Manipulate time
Dong Xuebin was immediately excited.
From the experiment just now, b and b share the remaining time, which is one minute that can be saved every day. Also, unlike b, which usually defaults to one minute when called, it is similar to the menu command. It is executed once and then Call for recovery.
Dong Xuebin couldn't help but try it a few more times.
…
…
Finally, Dong Xuebin thought of a possibility. Could it be that after the initial car accident, something unexpected happened to him after his death, and then he gained one minute more every day than everyone else in the world? It took about a minute between his death and resurrection. Could it be that this minute was not included in the time of this world? So I have these sixty seconds more every day than others? But this minute cannot be synchronized with everyone in the world, so it has been accumulated. Whether it is stop time or rewind time, it can be freely used by myself? Because this is my extra free time
This is the most reasonable explanation that Dong Xuebin can come up with.

The third update has arrived!
